I bought a used Alltel Titan on eBay a month ago to replace a phone that my wife dropped/broke. I have an Alltel contract that runs another couple of months. Verizon activated the phone for us, but it was a painful process that tied me up for a couple of hours on the phone with VZW tech support. I asked if I could continue to use this phone if I transition to a VZW contract when the Alltel contract is up, the answer was no - I will have to continue the Alltel agreement month-to-month, or buy a Verizon phone if I want a new Verizon service agreement.
